- 1. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION PLAN By Emilee Lowell
2. Our school has recently gone to a 1-to-1 Ipad Initiative.
While it is great to have the Ipad technology available for our
students, it does them no good unless we as teachers are using that
technology in the classroom. Last year, I was put in charge of
developing a new Global Studies class curriculum. Currently, the
curriculum is a little weak and one of my goals for the upcoming
school year is to add more rigor to the class, which I hope to
achieve, in part, through integrating more technology.
RATIONALE/BACKGROUND 3. Ipads for students Overhead projector List
of past and current dictators Internet Access MATERIALS NEEDED 4.
CE 1.3.1 Compose written, spoken, and/or multimedia compositions in
a range of genres (e.g., ... summary,... research report, or
work-related text): pieces that serve a variety of purposes (e.g.,
expressive, informative, creative, and persuasive) and that use a
variety of organizational patterns (e.g., ... Comparison/contrast,
definition, or cause and effect) P3.1 Clearly state an issue as a
question of public policy, trace the origins of an issue, analyze
various perspectives, and generate and evaluate possible
alternative CE 1.5.1 Use writing, speaking, and visual expression
to develop powerful, creative and critical messages. CE 1.5.4 Use
technology tools to produce polished written and multimedia work
(e.g., literary and expository works, proposals, business
presentations, advertisements) CE 1.4.2 Develop a system for
gathering, organizing, paraphrasing, and summarizing information;
select, evaluate, synthesize, and use multiple primary and
secondary (print and electronic) resources. STANDARDS MET 5. 1.
Students will log onto Infuselearning.com to answer a couple
questions. The question students will answer on the Infuse Learning
page is what is your definition of a dictator? 2. As students
answer this question, their answers will appear on the projector.
As a class, we will then come up with a good definition of a
dictator. 3. I will then ask the class if it is possible to be a
good dictator and ask them to discuss their answers with the class.
DICTATORS LESSON PLAN- OPENING 6. After the class discussion,
students will take notes using the Notepad App or Pages Apps on
their Ipad as I go through a Dictators PowerPoint Presentation on
the overhead projector. This PPT will give classic definitions of a
dictator, examples of some famous dictators, and lead into a class
discussion the possibilities of a benevolent dictator. DICTATORS
LESSON PLAN- INSTRUCTION 7. 1. After we have finished the PPT
presentation, students will each be assigned a different dictator
from the past or present. Students will be instructed to, using
their Ipads, research online for information about their dictator.
They will be looking for as much biographical information as they
can find. 2. After gathering research about their respective
dictator, students will be instructed to log my Classroom Moodle
Page and locate the Dictator Facebook Template Word document.
Students will use the template to input the information they
gathered create a Facebook page (Work Document) for their assigned
dictator. 3. When students have completed their Facebook Page, they
will upload it to a forum on my classroom Moodle Page so that their
fellow classmates and I can view it. 4. Students will then comment
on at least four of their classmates project. DICTATORS LESSON
